System for information processing

Abstract

An information processing system comprises a plurality of information processing apparatuses. The information processing apparatus is configured to be connected in a communicable manner. Each of the information processing apparatuses includes a control unit. The control unit is set attributes corresponding to executable processes. The control unit includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is conrigured to perform retaining an associative relation between processes executed by any of the controling and the attributes enabling execution of the processes, accepting a process execution request, selecting the control unit to execute the process with the execution request being accepted in accordance with the associative relation, and requesting the selected control unit to execute the requested process.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An information processing system comprising:
 a plurality of information processing apparatuses configured to be connected in a communicable manner,   each of the information processing apparatuses including a control unit, the control unit being set attributes corresponding to executable processes, the control unit including:   a memory; and   a processor coupled to the memory and the processor conrigured to perform:   retaining an associative relation between processes executed by any of the controling and the attributes enabling execution of the processes;   accepting a process execution request;   selecting the control unit to execute the process with the execution request being accepted in accordance with the associative relation; and   requesting the selected control unit to execute the requested process.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the selecting further includes, when a plurality of selected control units exists, a process of selecting the control unit exhibiting a low processing load as compared with the processing loads of the selected control units. 
     
     
         3 . The information processing system according to  claim 2 , wherein the selecting further includes a process of computing a second processing load by weighting based on a status value determined per operation status of the information processing apparatus with respect to the processing load, and selecting the control unit exhibiting a low second processing load. 
     
     
         4 . The information processing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the selecting further includes a process of selecting the control unit equipped in the information processing apparatus exhibiting a small number of hardware resources mounted in the information processing apparatus.
